You know a place is the best when employees are excited to have their family members move in! Many of our staff has family members who live here, including me. My grandmother has been here for two years now and she is truly living her best life. The employees are all kind to her and I feel that they genuinely care about her. The activities, nursing care and food are all phenomenal. She could not be at a better place!

We brought my grandmother there because the staff was extremely nice and it so clean. Some places we visited had odors right when you walked in. Later I decided to go to work for them. I’ve been there for two years now with no regrets. We do everything in our power to keep the residents safe and happy.

My mother-in-law lives here and really likes it. The apartments are nice, and the facility is clean. The staff seems friendly, and they allow pets which help residents not feel lonely.

I wasn't there for pleasure I was doing work for them outside so I have no opinion of the place either way.

I have worked for Riverside for 4 years and it will be my forever job. We are a family to each other as employees and residents. I have been a nurse for 24 years and there is no other facility where employees or residents are treated with so much respect.

I brought my Mother to Riverside Lodge to live because I felt it was a comfortable, clean, modern environment with a very caring staff! This was over 10 years ago. She was in Independent Living and then progressed to Assisted Living. We took her to Colorado for 15 months and were unable to find the care she had received at Riverside Lodge so we brought her back. She recuperated from her experience in Colorado with the fine care of the Riverside Lodge staff! Currently several of my friends reside at Riverside Lodge and are happily able to take part in the many activities and competent, friendly

I had an interview there a year ago, immediately the D.O.N was a complete you know what to me and they are still looking for a nurse to fill that particular position! Good luck with such poor customer service skills, I am surprised you even keep any staff!
